Nova Scotia, here we come!

Arriving in PEI, it was stormy and cloudy...exactly how I pictured it to be. It reminded me of being in a minor hurricane. Almost getting blown off the sidewalk, watching trees bend and sway, and walking in the pouring rain! When we all woke up the day after getting here, it was much nicer, I was able to experience PEI for what it is really known for. Tim rode with a group of kids and adults from Charlottetown, and a few from our home, Airdrie! It was neat to see some faces that we recognized. Tim was invited into City Hall to sign the guestbook and visit with the Mayor. Their City Hall is absolutely stunning! Everything is original, the walls, doors, staircases, the floor....it was like stepping back in time. After that, we walked over to a very nice cafe for lunch with all of the bikers and friends. After lunch was over, and Tim's CBC interview, Tim and I went shopping and then went to the Fire Department. I've seen so many firetrucks in my life I'm used to them, but Tim was very glad to sit up in the truck and just chill. The firefighter we talked with was so welcoming!!

Tim took his rest day yesterday, instead of today...so we stayed at 'Camp Triumph' here in PEI, right on the beach. The camp is for youth who have a family member who is ill, or have lost a family member to a disease or other issue. Tim spoke to the kids about his journey with Cancer, the struggles and the triumphs...watching those kids listen to Tim was so neat. They all sat there totally quiet, waiting on every word that came out of his mouth. Tim is such a great speaker, he motivated those kids to look at life differently. They were pretty happy when he told them he would spend an extra day there.

That night, I joined the kids for a campfire, and two of them played the fiddle! It was sooo amazing to hear them!!! They did some pretty crazy stuff, and one of the girls even danced for us! Tim came a little bit later and asked if he could talk to me....when we walked away from the fire he showed me his face....where he had cracked it so hard on the counter from wrestling his dad. I checked him out, and found nothing broken, but he may have a hairline fracture in his nose. He has a nice bruise at the top, and one under his eye. His neck was jarred pretty bad, so last night I took care of that...who knew that trying to take out your dad could cause such injuries! Man, sometimes I'm really glad I came along... ;)

Tim is out on his bike right now, on his way to the ferry to Nova Scotia! We are going to province 9 of 10!! How crazy!!!
